Ueneral Kitchener Capturea Omdur | man and the Bngllah Mow Down the Fanatical Derviahea by Thon aanda-—The Engliah Loae Two Hundred Men. Omdurman, Opposite Khartoum on the Nile, Nubia, Sept. 2.—(By camel post to N'asey.)—The sirdar, General Herbert Kitchener with khalifa black stand ard captured during the battle, entered Omdurman, the capital of Mahdiam, at '4 o'clock this afternoon at the head of the Anglo-Egyptian column, atier com pletely routing the Dervishes and dealing a death blow to Mahdiam. Roughly, our losses were 200, while thousands of the Dervishes were killed and wounded. Last night the Anglo 'Kgyptian army encamped at Agaiza, eight miles from Omdurman. The Dervishes iwere three miles distant. At dawn the cavalry patrolling toward Omdurman dis covered the enemy advancing to the at tack in battle array, chanting war songs. Their front consisted of infantry and cav alry, stretched out for three or four mile}. Countless banners fluttered over their masses and their copper and brass drums resounded through the ranks of the sav age warriors who advanced unswervingly with all their old-time ardor. Our in ifantry formed outside the camp. On the left were the First battalion of North umberland fusileers, the Second battalion Lancashire fusileers and the First bat talion grenadier guards with the Maxim battery, manned by the Royal Irish fusi leers. In the center were the First bat italion Warwickshire. First battalion Cameron Highlanders and the First bat talion Warwickshire, First battalion ims worked by a detachment of the royal 'artillery under Major Williams. On our 'right were the Soudanese brigades, com manded by General Maxwell and General (McDonaid. The Egyptian brigades held the reserves and both flanks were sup ported by itiaxim-Nordenfeld batteries. At 7:20 a. m. the enemy crowded the 'ridges above the camp and advanced steadily in enveloping formation. Swept Down the iu.ilalde. At 7:40 our artillery opened fire which Was answered by the Dervish riflemen. Their attack developed on our left and in accordance with their traditional tac tics they swept down the hillside with the design of rushing our flank. But the I withering fire maintained for 15 minutes by all our line frustrated the attempt and the Dervishes, balked, swept toward our center, upon which they concentrated 'a fierce attack. A large force of horsemen, trying *o | face a continuous hail of bullets from the Cameron Highlanders, the Lincolnshire regiment and the Soudanese, was literal -1 ly swept away, leading to the withdrawal of the entire body, whose dead strewed j the field. Magnificent Ruahea. ( The bravery of the Dervishes can hard .ly be overstated. Those who carried the 1 flags struggled within a hundred yards 'of our fighting line. When the Dervishes withdrew behind the ridge in front of their camp the whole force marched in echelon battalions toward Omdurman. When our troops surmounted the crests, the Soudanese on the right came to at ' tack those who had reformed under the - rocky eminence and had massed around , the black standard of the khalifa in or j der to make a supreme effort to retrieve the fortunes of the day. A mass 15,000 strong bore down on the Soudanese. Gen ' eral Kitchener swung round the center i and left of the Soudanese and seized the rocky eminehce and the Egyptians, hith ( erto in reserve, joining the firing line. In 10 minutes and before the Dervishes could : drive their attack home, the flower of the I khalifa's army was caught in a depression i and within a zone of withering cross fire from three brigades, with the attend ( ant artillery. The devoted malidists strove heroically to make headway, but every rush was stopped, while their main • body was literally mown down by a sus ■ tained deadly cross-fire. Died Aronnd Their Standarda. Defiantly the Dervisues planted their standards and died beside them. Their 1 dense masses gradually melted to com-' panies and the companies to driblets be neath the leaden hail. Finally they broke and fled, leaving the field white with the jibbah-clad corpses, which like a snowdrift, dotted the spot. ! At 11:15 the sirdar ordered an advance i and our whole force in line drove the scattered remnant of the foe into the des ert, our cavalry cutting off their retreat to Omdurman. 1 None Braver Than Engliah. < Among the chief incidents of the bat < tie was a brilliant charge by the Twenty- N first lancers, under Lieutenant Colonel Martin. Galloping down on a detached body of the enemy they found the Der * vish swordsmen massed behind and were forced to charge home against great odds. The lancers charged through and kept . the Dervish horde at bay. Lieutenant Grenfelt, nephew of Sir Francis Grenfelt, was killed, four other officers were wound ed, 21 men were killed and 20 wounded. I The Egyptian cavalry were in close ' lighting throughout with the Baggara horsemen. For a short period the enemy captured and held the gun, but it was brilliantly retaken. < The heroic bravery of the Dervishes i evoked universal admiration. Time aftir » time their dispersed and broken forces re-' formed and hurled themselves upon the Anglo-Egyptians, their emirs conspicu j ously leading and spurning death. Even J when wounded and in death agonies they ; raised themselves to fire a last shot. I Among the wounded is Colonel Rhodes, t the correspondent of the London Times, and a brother of Cecil Rhodes.

Paris, Sept. 5.—M. Cavaignac Saturday sent the following letter of resignation to M. Brisson, premier and the president of the council: "I have the honor to send you and beg you to transmit to the president of the republic my resignation as minister of war. There exists a disagreement be tween us, which being prolonged, would paralyze the government at a time when it most needs full unity of decision. I remain convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus and am determined as heretofore to com bat a revision of the case. Ido not in tend to shirk the responsibility of the present situation, but I can not assume it without being in accord with the chief of the government to which 1 have the honor to belong." These are the circumstances which led M. Cavaignac to resign: After the dis covery of Lieutenant Colonel Henry's forgery the government sought means to reassure the public. The question of re vision was broached. Certain ministers believed the time had come to throw full light and to establish every responsibili ty. M. Cavaignac strongly objected. He declared that he was convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus. M. Brisson vainly pointed out to M. Cavaignac that the revision would be .purely judicial. M. Cavaignac replied that revision could only be justified if some new fact developed to show that there had been a judicial error and that no such fact ex isted, Henry's forgery being subsequent to the conviction of Dreyfus and only in directly connected with it. M. Bourgeois, called from Switzerland, made a new effort but M. Cavaignac still refused. The latter saw M. Brisson, the premier, and declared that his deter initiation was immovable and that he would resign. After M. Cavaignac's de parture, a conference was held at the min istry of the interior between M. Brisson, Minister Bourgeois and M. Sarrien. About 9 o'clock M. Cavaignac's letter of resig nation was received. It is assumed that a majority of the cabinet accept the views of M. Brisson as the others retaiu their portfolios. The resignation of M. Cavaignac enables the government to de cide the matter and it is believed M. Cav aignac's successor at the war office will soon be appointed and a definite resolu tion taken. Populace Inflamed. The Dreyfus agitation is not abating. The populace was again inflamed today by posters, printed by Siecle, with which the town has been plastered. They re produce two letters which Dreyfus wrote to the minister of war in 1894 and one which he wrote to his counsel, De Mage, in 1895, protesting innocence and denying that he ever had been guilty of any indis cretion. The posters also deal at length with the fact that Colonel Piequart wrote on July 9 affirming the falsity of Lieu tenant Henry's documents, and they de cry the arrest and imprisonment of Pic quart.

The Nary la the Safest and Dent Paid Work In the Time of War, With Its Chances for Rrlnes, as Few Are Killed In Battle. New York, Sept 6. —A dispatch to the Herald from Washington says: At least $17,000,000 in prize money will be distributed among sailors as a result of the war with Spain. More than a half of this award will be in accordance with that section of the law providing for the payment of bounty to persons aboard the vessels that sunk the Spanish fleet. Although not a penny of prize money has yet been turned into the treasury Judge Advocate Lemley and his chief clerk, Mr. Hanna, are engaged in consid ering the various claims for prize money that have been filed by the officers and men, and in passing upon the various questions which have arisen. From the official report of Admiral Montojo, commanding the Spanish fleet at Manila, there were 1875 persons aboard his ships. The bounty amounts to $187,- 600, which congress will be asked to ap propriate during the coming session. One twentieth of this sum belongs to Rear Admiral Dewey, commander-in-chief, a"nd he will therefore be $9375 richer than he was before the war. Sampson's Blur Share. Rear Admiral Sampson has realized a snug little fortune as a result of the war. As commander-in-chief of the North At lantic fleet he will get one-twentieth of every prize taken by the North Atlantic fleet and one-twentieth of the head money allowed for the vessels destroyed off San tiago and in Cuban ports. It is estimated that he will finally receive about $40,0'J0 as his share of prize money. In determining the amount of head money due officers and men it will be necessary for the department to decide YOUN'G AT SIXTY.

If the latter the American ship will be entitled to $200 for each person on board the enemy. Of course this will swell the amount of prize money due the admiral. It is estimated that, including the Mer cedes, sunk at the mouth of the harbor of Santiago, there were 2402 persons on board the Spanish fleet destroyed by Sampson's command, which was superior to the enemy and the amount of head money due the fleet will consequently ag gregu-te $249,200. Besides these ships Spanish mpn-of-war were sunk at Manza nillo, Nipe and other points along the Cuban coast, the destruction of which each means a prize for the officers and men participating in the work. Many Questions to Settle. Lega 1 officers of the department will be requested to determine whether mer chant vessels carrying guns in their hold like th« Santo Domingo, which was sunk by the? Eagle, come within the meaning of the section providing for the payment of bounties for persons on board. These question may delay' the adjudication of amounts due officers and men interested. The department was notified a few days ago by Judge Locke of Florida that lie would turn into the treasury the net amount resulting from the sale of the cargo of coal on board the British tramp steamer Restormel. The notification was subsequently withdrawn. The Restormel's case is the furthest ad vanced of any prizes. Owners of the great majority of the captured vessels have taken appeals from the Courts which have condemned their ships as prizes and it will be many months before the su preme court of the United States is able to pass on them.
